This is where I came in: The Armageddon Factor was the first Doctor Who I watched. The dilemma inherent in Astra being the final segment to the Key to Time really grabbed me—it’s the only plot point I can remember from that year (though some images remain from the others, like the head of the Jaggaroth, and the excavation of Davros). So although looking back now as an adult, I can see that it’s a just an overly padded runaround in corridors with an incoherent plot, it was much more than that in my eight-year-old imagination. So that was the best story of this year’s Doctor Who for me.
